Bunun, or more precisely, Taimidadaq tu Bunun is one of the tribes of the Aborigines in Taiwan. In Bunun language, Taimidadaq tu Bunun refers to the people live in this land. Migration (“linahaban” in Bunun language) is an established custom in Bunun history (“palihabasan” in Bunun language). Reasons pertained to migration include both external and internal causes. External causes may be, for example, invasion of the foreign tribe or political concerns. Internal causes may be economic concerns such as land insufficiency resulted from population growth, or convention philosophy suggesting “never cultivating in the same land repeatedly, otherwise the land would get barren and thus the crops would be unfruitful. Therefore, Bunun is a tribe of continuously migration that circuits around Taiwan. According to the Bunun elders (“madadaingaz” in Bunun language), the residential area has been referred to as mai-asang since the 16th century. In the 16th century, mai-asang covered most of the western plain and the Bunun people had been migrating within that area ever since. Around the middle of the 17th century, the Bunun people have started to migrate eastward and southward under the pressure of the foreign tribes colonizing in the western plain. The most well-known migration path in the last two centuries is the Batonggua Trail.
This research aims to investigate the original aspect and migration process of the Bunun people in Batonggua community from Bunun people’s viewpoint. The writer first interviewed the Bunun elders who actually lives/lived in the Batonggua community and then illustrated the community map according to the interviews along with field trip invetigations so as to reconstruct the original aspects and the traditional architectures in the Batonggua community. Afterward, reference is made to the existing literature. In the end, the writer proposed a model illustrating the original aspects in the Batonggua community from the view of native liver therein. Besides, many aboriginal toponyms are recorded from the interview. By doing so, the self-identification of aborigines in Taiwan can be improved and hence they are not left behind the world-wide wave of self-determination.
